California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo

Educational Equity Scholarships awarded

Ten underrepresented students were recently awarded $1,000 Educational Equity Scholarships for 1991-92, based on recomenda­tions from Student Academic Ser­vices and University Outreach Services.

The scholarships, made possible by an endowment established in 1988, were offered to five Hispan­ics, three African-Americans, one Native American, and one Cambodian-American.

The endowment was created to enhance Cal Poly's ability to admit and retain qualified under­represented students. An initial fund of $40,000 was created, and with the help of Cal Poly faculty and staff, the scholarship program now totals more than $150,000.

Contributions to the Educational Equity Scholarship program can be sent to the University Develop­ment Services office. Checks should be made payable to "Edu­cational Equity." Employees can also contribute through payroll deduction. For enrollment forms or more information, call Eric Doepel, Annual Giving, ext. 6448.

Deadline approaching for faculty grants

The deadline to submit proposals for the State Faculty Support Grant (SFSG) program is March 21. The grants support research, schol­arship, and creative activities that help faculty remain current in their disciplines and gain knowledge to strengthen California socially, culturally and economically.

Proposals may be submitted for mini-grants, quarter leaves and assigned time for 1992-93. Funding is contingent on the budget, which has not yet been set. Approxi­mately $75,000 and a full year FTEF position for assigned time is hoped for, and awards will be con­ditional on the amount available.

Professional Studies to be phased out

The School of Professional Studies will be phased out by Fall Quarter 1992.

The school's departments, Graphic Communication, Home Economics, Industrial Technology, Liberal Studies, Military Science, Physical Education, Recreation Ad­ministration, and Psychology and Human Development, will be moved to other schools. A deci­sion about where the departments will go should be finalized in the coming weeks.

The School of Professional Studies was forced to take a 30 percent budget cut last year, mak­ing it difficult to retain a stable school, said Dr. Robert Koob, vice president for academic affairs.

All publications should be reviewed

Departments are reminded that all university publications (newsletters, brochures, etc.) should be sent to Darlene Slack, director of communications and special events, Adm. 413, for review prior to printing and distribution. For additional infor­mation, or to discuss a proposed publication, contact Slack at ext. 2696.

Johnston receives ASI service award

Hal Johnston, a member of the Construction Management Depart­ment, has been selected by ASI Student Community Services to receive the Distinguished Service/ Learning Award.

The award is given in recognition of outstanding commitment to community service.

Johnston was chosen because of his work promoting student in­volvement in academically related service. As senior project adviser, he encourages students to under­take service projects to fulfill the senior project requirement.

One such project resulted in the design and construction of a facility to house Red Cross volunteer den­tists working in Encinitas, Mexico. A current project involves Johnston working with students and the San Luis Obispo Housing Authori­ty to design and construct housing for low income families.

Substance abuse education, training

The Personnel and Employee Relations office is working with Student Affairs and Cal Poly's Substance Abuse Advisory Com­mittee to set up campuswide sub­stance abuse training for employ­ees and students. When training dates are set, they will be an­nounced in the Cal Poly Report.

In keeping with the university's commitment to provide education on alcohol and drug abuse, the CPR will occasionally publish statistics related to substance abuse.

According to data compiled by the National Council on Alcohol­ism and Drug Dependence, on average 100,000 people a year die from alcohol-related causes. About two out of every five Americans will be involved in an alcohol re­lated traffic accident some time in their lives. The yearly death toll resulting from alcohol related traf­fic accidents equals 100 jumbo jet crashes or the entire population of San Luis Obispo.
